The Cure, whose enduring career is now entering its fourth
decade, is currently out on the road with an L-Acoustics K1/K2 system
supplied by London-based Britannia Row Productions, who have been with
singer/guitarist Robert Smith and his bandmates since almost the very
beginning.

Aside from a few short jaunts and various one-offs at
major festivals, “The Cure Tour 2016”— which played 33 shows in North
America this spring and is now journeying through 34 shows in 17
European countries — marks the first real outing for the band since the
release of its 13th studio album, 4:13 Dream, and subsequent tour in
2008.

For this year’s worldwide tour, Britannia Row added a
large quantity of new L-Acoustics products to its arsenal of gear,
including K1, K1-SB, Kara, ARCS II, ARCS Wide, X8 and 5XT enclosures,
plus the manufacturer’s new KS28 reference subwoofers and LA12X
amplified controllers.

Setlist: Plainsong, Pictures of You, Closedown, A Night Like This, The Blood, The Baby Screams, Push, In Between Days, If Only Tonight We Could Sleep, Charlotte Sometimes, Lovesong, Just Like Heaven, Jupiter Crash, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, Prayers for Rain, Disintegration

Good news for those who were hoping to be able to buy their own version of Simon's new yellow bass, Schecter has plans to do a limited run of them, starting Jan. 1st, 2017.

The bass was designed by Nancy Dorothy Wakeman, and she posted some info on her design here:

"The Cure are currently out on a year long world tour. Earlier this year, I was comissioned by the bassist, Simon Gallup, to help him design a new bass, exclusively for this 2016 tour. He had a vague idea of what he was after, he wanted some kind of English lion, a rose, and it absolutely had to be yellow!

The illustration style of the lion is intended to resemble a woodcut print, this was a decision I made in order to give the lion a sense of age and history."

Nancy & Michael Ciravolo, president of Schecter and native New Orleanian, at the Hollywood Bowl show on May 22nd, 2016.

Update (Nov. 23rd, 2016): Eric got an update, sort of, on this : "No news yet. We will be making that announcement shortly via facebook, twitter, and our website."
